Serves him right for taking a wraithknight. And grav guns are great against anything with vehicles or saves better than 4+.

I've got a bunch of old Eldar and Marine models from my FLGS. He's clueless about selling online and I really don't want to Bay eBay fees on forty different lots for him. There is some really old terminators and marines in the box. If anyone's interested I'll put up an SA Mart thread again. Also Dystopian Wars boxes.

Favorite part of the game was your 5 tac marines vs my 5 scout marines in close combat for 4 turns and then killing each other on turn 5. Pretty much summed up the game.

Progress on my bikes. Warlock is not done yet, and the roses still need to be added and then a coat or two of matte varnish applied. The lines may look a little uneven in a few of the photos but that's just hte bike contours and the contrast of the white - in reality they're pretty straight. The Farseer and Warlock hoods are all white because I plan on a lot of roses/vines there. For the record, I loving hate the new flying stands.

I had ridiculous luck with my Defiler and ended up totally steamrolling you guys, which owned. I was certain I was going to lose that game until the very end, when I got lucky with a card draw. That loving Heldrake didn't show up until turn 4 and when your tac squad pulped my commander (despite him having an extra wound thanks to the challenge he won), I didn't think I'd be able to catch up. Fortunately, the big guy downstairs did me a solid and I was able to win at mans. Also, I took some lovely phone pics of the second game! Deployment: ANAmal's tactical approach: Lord Hypnostache posted:Those are really nice looking models and terrain. I also love the warpstone objective marker. Can you post more pictures of the objective markers you guys have? I did those a while back. I need to do three more, but I need to cobble together some better bitz for them.

So many welcome changes in this SM CODEX. Calgar now hits at initiative, and Sicarius got a 10 point drop, Tigurius still stupid awesome. Vanguard vets, still useless.

Do you know what forum/thread this is? How DARE you say positive things about a GW codex release! I agree that the changes done to C:SM were fair and even across the board. Now some of the formations are obvious money grabs but are pretty neat and gimmicky. The Skyhammer Annihilation Force gives me wet dreamz.

My brother is a huge fan of The Imperial/Crimson Fists and was happy as a clam with the tweaking of the tactics and Pedro Kantor. I use his army from time to time and I'm looking forward to trying some of the new formations. I also like that all the Forgeworld chapter tactics don't need to be redone as their are some cool and fluffy stuff and characters in there.

I just hope that the rest of the other factions get crazy overhauls that give them all the D. You can't be overpowered when everyone else is overpowered too.

I fondly recount my numerous rear end kickings to others, which I describe as "thorough" and "unrelenting"

Calgar lost his sweet choose to pass/fail leadership tests special rule, but he has his terminator armor with the beacon and that allows sweeping advances. Bring him along with a Demi-company and you are looking at 3 turns of refolls for your guys, not to shabby. Question, chapter tactics still don't apply to vehicles, right? It says they apply to all models, but vehicles still don't have chapter tactics as a special rule. I assume Iron Hands are the only exception since their rules specifically mention vehicles, is my reading correct? Also, Telion and Chronos also got an extra wound, which is nice. Really thinking about bringing a Demi-company and 10th force to my next tournament.

I was pretty suprised by how quickly the Wraithguard went down to my own combi-gravs. Eldar are strong but they don't feel nearly as broken as it had looked like when the codex first released. Honestly the nastiest thing was probably the huge number of eldritch storms Hixson was throwing around. I will also note that my own Stormraven has continued it's long history of failing to kill anything worth mentioning. It generally gets the passengers into assault range so I guess I can't complain too much regardless of how frustrating it is.

The stormraven seems like a landraider: good transport but not great shooting for the points. The stormtalon seems like the predator version as it puts out more firepower per point.

The pacing, the music, the sad feeling you get as you see Terminators going down. Putting the tone as a heroic last stand in a western fits so perfect. How many clips of 40k honestly both impress and make you feel sad for the characters at the same time. Counterpoint is the exact same game in another trailor with generic 40k music that makes the whole thing "MEH"

So I just got my copy of the new marine dex and had a quick skim. I haven't been following the rumours but it doesn't seem like they've changed or added all that much... just minor tweaks all over and a bunch of detachments. $90AU well spent.
